A Christmas Wish Come True

Chapter Nine

Amelia's POV:

I'm so scared.

It's been a week and we've gone through so much.

Well, after that call, we had to go to the hospital, immedtly, then when we got there they told me more about it while giving me stuff. They started putting in an IV in my arm telling me this is chemotherapy.

(A/N: yeah yeah you guys are probably thinking"wow thoughs people are weird! They're giving a person some deadly carboplaintin and zofran and all that jazz?" Well, they've already talked to her parents and such, and they already knew about her having a tumor in-between her optic nerves, but they never knew it increased very badly, so they told her parents, her parents made the decisions, yada yada yada,so yeah, sorry had to clear it up for you guys)

I look over at Maria who's asleep next to me while my parents are sleeping in a chair together. Like I said it's been a week since that and I know what's coming, but I'm so scared, I don't wanna leave Maria...

"Morning beautiful." I hear Maria say as she kisses me on the cheek.

I look over at her then try for a smile when it faulters from fear.

Maria just wraps her arms around me slowly and gently and pulls me close after laying her head on mine. she started humming softly, it calming me immedtly.

Me and Maria have only known each other for about two weeks now, because of that time she brought me home after work. But since I actually know know her i absolutely love her. She hasn't left my side this whole time. She refuses to let me hurt or do anything bad. She gets me something before my parents even have a chance to speak, which is funny. We haven't talked about us dating yet because we're all still just trying to process a out me having stage for of Optic Nerve Glioma. It's very deadly, especially at stage four. They told me that my eyesight will slowly be all gone. I really hate that. I wanna be able to look around without no special tool. I don't want everyone thinking i'm so weak.

I just close my eyes laying my head on Maria's chest.

She grabs my hand without the IV in making my look over at her.

I could just barely see her beautiful green eyes, pale skin, and long dark brown hair.

I felt her place a soft kiss on my lips making me close my eyes and kiss her back.

She pulls away gently after a minute, laying her forehead on mine. Oh yeah, I'm so glad my parents aren't up right now. My parents don't know I like girls. They just think Maria's a friend of mine. Which, in a way, she is, but, I want to make her more than just my friend.

She whispers so softly, it was like music to my ears. "I have something for you."

I close my eyes mumbling back. "Oh really? Why?"

She laughs softly making a smile tug at my lips. "Because I love you and I wanted to, that's why."

I nod. "Okay"

After a minute I feel something touching my neck, then my chest, then i just grab the thing and feel that it's a type of neckalce. I open my eyes and see this:

I gasp slightly looking up at her. "There's no way I deserve this. How much was it?"

She smiles kissing me on the forehead softly. "Ami, (Amelia's nickname for her.) it's okay, it's just a neckalce, it was my mom's, she gave it to me before she...." Maria dosen't finish her sentance, and i felt a tear fall down my cheek, but it wasn't mine.

I look at her then hold onto her weakly. "It's okay Maria, I won't leave you, and you'll see your mom again one day. I know it."

She nods slightly as she keep holding me. I close my eyes falling into her embrace and since I'm so tired, i fall asleep cuddled besides her.

Maria's POV:

I kept holding Amelia close as I thought of that night. I remember singing with my mom as we drove to go see my dad since he was in the hospital, but we never made it..well, my mom didn't make it.

*Flashback*

"I needed you to stay, but i let you drift away."

My mom sang along with me as we drove.

"Whenever you're ready, whenever your ready, whenever you're ready, whenever you're ready, can we, can we, surrender."

We sang the song together, her looking at me through the mirror, while I giggle.

I am ten years old, then after a moment I hear someone's car tires screech loudly while my mom's eyes widen and she slams on the breaks, then I hear tons of crashing noises along with screaming, and I black out.

I woke up in an ambulance hearing the sirens blaring and tons of people surrounding me.

I look over and see my mom badly injured, I grab her hand after a moment but then she slowly regained conscienceness and looks at me but then after another few moments of starring into my mom's fear filled eyes of losing me, my vision went dark.

I woke up in a hospital bed where I only hear beeping. I tried standing up but all I felt was pain. I started crying for help. After a moment I hear a nurse come in.

"Hey sweetie." She says, I just look up at her.

"Wh--where's my mom?"

She looks at me then looks down slightly. "She um, she didn't make it, sweetie I'm so sorry, she's gone."

The word "gone" rang in my ears, then tears fell down my cheeks, and then turned into sobbing.

She went besides me and hugs me. I didn't care and hug her back while burying her face into her outfit for the hospital.

After that, I stayed in the hospital with my dad, I stayed there with him till i heard his heart monitor go to a stop. I buried my face in his chest and sobbed.

"I can't live without you two." I whisper as I kept sobbing.

He didn't respond, I wish he did.

I had their funerals on my birthday, i remember on my birthday my aunt taking care of me afterwards, she was a nice lady, but nothing like my mom and dad. I miss my parents so much. I wonder what they're doing, are they happy? I hope so.

*End of flashback*

I stare at the beautiful sight in front of me. I'm so glad I met her. Just as i was about to snuggle closer to her and fall back asleep, I see my phone buzzing and see it's Josh. My eyes widen. I haven't told him about Amelia yet.

I need to break up with him.
